Hey guys,
I was thinking today about vehicles that still use the solid axle. I was wondering what types of vehicles still use them. I know that Dodge still uses them, but are there any other companies?

Thanks.

Sam

yep, only way to get a straight axle GM is buy a 4500 or 5500 series 4x4, comes with a dana 70HP front end(passenger drop)

you've got ford, toyota, jeep, dodge, and rover that all still produce vehicles with straight axle front ends, toyota's just aren't available in this country(still some land cruisers)
